romney promises a hard line stance against russia but faces criticism for flip flopping on previous policies. successfully. to carve a five billion dollars out of his fortune. was a fundamentally unreliable with. broadcasting live from our studios in central moscow recapping the week's top stories this is r t with a weekly. the most open push yet for military intervention in syria came this week proposed by turkey has requested security for refugee camps inside the country which would lead to foreign forces guarding the camps while they're protected by a no fly zone but the idea hit a dead end at the security council and several member states expressed strong

reservations about militarizing a humanitarian effort all over britain and france one that they could completely bypass the un if the conflict and that according to brian becker from the anti war answer coalition would be like a return to the path. of the united states and france and britain consider the united nations to be nothing other than they're placing a fig leaf for their own foreign policy yes they're very disappointed in russia and china for quote weakening the un but if the un is actually the media. voice for peace. a method an instrument to avoid war in the scourge of war to avoid the ravages of colonialism as it has pretended to be at least in the past that's very odd and ironic in fact completely hypocritical to have the french government saying to the syrian opposition you form a government and we'll recognize you i mean that's just a script from the good old days when the colonial powers operated through proxies so it will be invade those who control the monopoly of violence that is the nato

powers themselves who will be the ultimate determiner of what the character is of this new so-called opposition government or what they will declare to be the legitimate government of the syrian people meanwhile syria's largest rebel group of the free syrian army have promised to expand their offensive and will now start targeting civilian airports rebels have warned international airlines to avoid damascus and aleppo they say planes arriving at those two locations are part of an alleged arms smuggling network for the government it's feared any aircraft landing there civilian or not could now be a target for the free syrian army that is not the only tactic complied by opposition fighters that is causing international concern sorties lucie county reports. it was another disturbing example of the many atrocities committed throughout the syrian war a truck bomb with homemade explosives headed for a checkpoint to the entrance of syria's largest city.

but the men that are loading it aren't assad forces they're one of the many groups fighting under the banner of the free syrian army and their captive is said to be a member of the should be a militia with very close ties to the government the video filmed by the new york times and turn into an on air segment by the b.b.c. captured about human rights groups called evidence of an attempted murder a potential war crime under international law review of rebels from the free syrian army trying to use a prisoner as an unwitting suicide bomber in their attacks on government forces now the cameras didn't follow the prisoner who had no idea that while being blindfolded he was actually embarking on a suicide mission he simply thought that he was being given his freedom the very next morning he was said to have escaped after the bombs failed to detonate and the b.b.c. had aired a story on august twenty second but this glimpse into the darker side of some of the tactics now being used in the uprising never aired again the story was also pulled from the b.b.c. website the network told me that this was due to copyright issues and this very video raises the question about whether such tactics may be more widespread among

the opposition than what has been previously documented they have yet to draw the same level of scrutiny as the crimes committed by the government were taliban in syria is met with more protests whether by the government or the rebels violence seems to be the name of the game and he further shatters the prospects for peace agreement reality for the civilians caught in this bitter war no for r.t. in moscow. meanwhile the syrian conflict is spilling across its borders leaving neighboring countries to deal with the turmoil of the war we report on how jordan is struggling with a stream of refugees from one side an arm smuggling from the other that's coming up next hour our team. weighing in on the syria situation is wiki leaks with julian assange promising to publish millions of e-mails showing just how comfortable the west used to be with assad and why the media is so intent on vilifying him. in his first t.v. interview since he was granted asylum by

a could or he criticized washington's harassment of wiki leaks he said speaking the truth wasn't harmful unlike america's actions in iraq and afghanistan some of which his website helped expose also talked about a transnational surveillance empire that he says is quickly taking shape across the developed world the whistleblower cited internet giants such as google as being complicit in a mammoth spying operation by the united states. from the u.k. independence party says the issues wiki leaks brings up are extremely relevant. we here in britain suffer even more from this surveillance society in the united states london is the world capital of surveillance everywhere you look there's a c.c.t.v. camera we are constantly monitored monitored twenty four hours a day. now we we in the u.k. independence party this. has been trying to do but it's very difficult because you are made out to be against the rule of law or if you don't want to be survive

you know every moment of your your waking life but the fact of the matter is that there's been no attempt to say that any of the stuff that they revealed is fraudulent it's misleading the whole strike seems to be so. because the actual documents speak for themselves and are clearly for the most part you know extremely damning and very relevant. iran's nuclear ambitions have won some powerful backing as one hundred twenty countries voiced their approval for peaceful atomic research in the country this was the key point in a unanimously adopted resolution that wrapped up at a nonaligned movement summit in tehran the us and israel have been led to reeling by the success of the gathering it comes as a new report suggested iran has significantly enhanced its nuclear capacity but the document was rejected by tehran as politically motivated there was another blow for israel and its western allies when un chief ban ki moon appeared at the summit he

condemned their persistent aggressive rhetoric and threats of a strike on iran mohammad marandi a professor at the university of tehran says it's ironic that the u.s. has forced iran to launch an atomic program. the iranians are saying that this report came at a sensitive time to sort of distract attention away from this iranian success the irony here is that the iranians at the beginning had no intention whatsoever to produce uranium at twenty percent and then produce nuclear fuel by americans and the europeans by taking iraq citizens and people hostage forced the iranians to take that politicians senior politicians really know that an attack on iran would be devastating for the united states and not only for its economy but for its global position and its credibility. independent researcher soraya support alric believes iran is the main barrier to u.s. domination in the region. mr brime ki-moon does recognize the fact and he has said

so this iran is a key player in the region and nothing much really can be solved you flowers hurons participation and i'm sure that the united states and israel good likeness to ban ki moon to come down hard on iran says he's also aware of the fact there's two thirds of the countries that belong to the united nations are member countries of the nine aligned movement united states state department they do tend to be very aggressive in their foreign policy towards certain countries in particular although i think they have the whole goal in mind they would love to be a global vision monic power. the nonaligned movement now is one hundred percent coming together to resist this kind of expression israel is being heavily criticised after several of its soldiers testified to the children were often in their main targets the release of follows the publication of two damning reports

one from british lawyers that visited israel's military courts and the other from of the human rights group the defense of children international that detail multiple violations committed against children not just post there has the story. there were demonstrations as indeed there are if we had not be a sunday which is a palestinian village in footage that was captured on camera these soldiers can be seen going from house to house and physically taking people out of their homes one person was injured at least six people were arrested five of whom were children and there are pictures of the daughters of one woman trying to save their mother as she was manhandled by the soldiers who were stun grenades now these reports come out on the heels of another damning conclusion there is ready defense forces has come under fire from its own rank and file an organization known as breaking the silence has published the testimonies of some fifty israeli soldiers and commanders in which they deal specifically with how the idea here treats palestinian children

palestinian minus they talk about the op or treat east of violence by soldiers when it comes to children and at the same time they say that very often the i.d.f. deliberately targets children using them as human shields during its operations but these reports also going to say that even when children are not deliberately targeted they are not afforded any kind of protection when there is a shootout or any kind of military operation as you can witness from the testimonies that we've published and from my own experiences as a soldier i have to say that the main point here is that there is there is no real distinction when it comes to treatment between adults and children for example we were doing constant arrested throughout the west bank arresting i don't know how many people you know on a nightly basis and many of the people that we were arresting were either children or teenagers did the most occasions we didn't even know why they were being arrested in one of the radio parisian streets we had to basically invaded the

palestinian. city of hebron the children started throwing stones at us so it's going to be picked at random they didn't even necessarily threw stones at us and used this issue. school friends who were supposed to tame instead of us we were hoping that that would stop him somehow that would stop his friends from throwing stones obviously didn't help him he just got injured. so certainly not a good time for the i.d.f. it's finding a been criticized on a number of fronts. telephone. and u.k. court has shattered the hopes and of the reputations of russia. has high stakes lawsuit against billionaire compatriot. was dismissed and one of the most expensive cases in british legal history and his laura smith in london has the story for us. the final verdict in this case found against bodies which means that he won't

receive a cent of the more than five point six billion dollars that he was asking for for a. run up but i want to promote himself was not in court. was he a relieved looking very upbeat saying that he had full confidence in the british legal system but once the verdict was being read he held his head in his hands and as he was leaving he appears to have lost confidence in the british legal system now this is a case that has opened up for the viewing of the general public the murky world of russia's mego rich and what they got up to back in the one nine hundred ninety s. the wild east is we called it back that we're talking about the history of sums of money offshore bank accounts elicit payments made between people often in massive sums of cash or of kools five star hotels ski resorts an enormous business deal done only on the strength of a handshake with no documentation which of cool things made this case

a very difficult one to judge it's brought to school building billion that along with their own two roses maker expensive lawyers and bodyguards who walked around this court area in the shade the demo. way but he spent his old ski says that he was done out of billions of dollars when he says that move it intimidates him into selling. metals and oil companies for a fraction of what they will but abramovich says that in fact. we never business partners that he was making payments to keep but they were only for political protection. roof in russian but if he wanted five point six billion dollars on top of the one point two billion that he received back in two thousand and two from this is being one of the biggest civil trials ever held in bush's legal history it's been hundreds of hours and resulted in millions of dollars worth of legal fees

so we've heard the results of this case new win this time around we may see more cases of this nature here in london. well news of that measure richard court battle over billions in london might not go down so well in crisis hit spain where one in four is the now out of a job put into the latest figures from your expert opinion more on that next hour. plus a two hundred years after a key battle russia of fought against with the invasion of napoleon enthusiastic are reenacting the clash. the u.s. military has stopped training for all new afghan local police recruits until the existing forces are reassessed and checked for the ties with insurgents this decision comes in light of so-called green on blue attacks which have claimed the lives of at least forty two nato soldiers this year for more on this we're now joined by nouri from an afghan policy think tank the world's strongest these coalition missionary thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much now

what is your opinion on the current vetting process do you think the u.s. military will manage to reassess the entire army within a reasonable time frame i don't think that's realistic however this is between them . in the military but certain and to go looking forward they're looking for to see when the election is coming and soon this is going to be put behind them and right now they're in a in a position to figure out what can we do that we can secure the vote and it does exactly what outlandish the current administration is thinking about so once this is behind. think about how they're going to. assess their exact way of how to to control this entire chaos was going to be. well is it even possible to prevent someone becoming disillusioned or joining the

taliban made a training once they've already been vetted how do you safeguard against that i seemed das the biggest headache you know i think. enemies of afghanistan. are themselves themselves. they are infiltrating inside the a.n.e. an area in p. which they come forward outguess himself talking about the karzai government and say that they have stopped this but they haven't really laid out the facts of how they're going to do that it's something that. they haven't really figured out and it's not going to work just by just saying ok we can stop it it's impossible they have to lay out exactly how they're going to do it. well how do you think this is going to affect the security situation once the u.s. leaves the country. well it looks like there were well

leaving a twenty four t. this is a glimpse into our office snowballing or. what's going to happen in afghanistan if u.s. policy is not going to change is not going to is not going to be. in the benefit of afghanistan the meeting. can stand for themselves and this is not going to work but it sounds good but is u.s. policy is just directed to help out it's its own benefit i don't think this is going to work now you just mentioned the start of the snowballing which kind of reminds me of iraq the power handover in iraq is widely acknowledged as a borderline a failure with militants now carrying out attacks on a regular basis do you believe that any lessons have been learned there and how can they apply here in afghanistan we'll see

a lot of people don't see this there afghanistan is a different set up then iraq iraq never had. a civil war in iraq never was never in a war for thirty years like afghanistan was there the post invasion. the union has totally changed the landscape the political landscape and the ethnic lines last. stand. on the lessons learned from iraq is not going to apply to afghanistan people should really take it down one day there's no real evidence whatsoever that what afghanistan is going through right now. and of finally is there any chance that you think that a power handover could be delayed and how that would affect anti-american sentiment in the country. dad is dream dead he will be remade to be see dad what good what

could take care effect right dan on the other hand again i'm i'm i'm stressing again dad if the policy osteen i've states and nato does not change that puts down against themselves in the driver's seat then things are going to be very hard right now america in in the policymakers in the beltway are the ones are making to just decision how afghanistan should be around but in sac the fact is that afghans should come forward themselves it is going to be and has to be an afghan solution. for afghanistan even by afghans this is the only way that they can do that there are ways of doing it but they're not looking for enough to find a way. all right we appreciate your thoughts on this mr colley nori co-founder of new world stratus strategies coalition thank you very much for being with us thank you for your time. all right this week u.s.

presidential candidates have been touring key states to secure support for november's election republican mitt romney beat barack obama to the gulf coast visiting areas hit by hurricane isaac there's also been a lot of harsh rhetoric between the two obama's supporters but because obama supporters accuse romney of paying little attention to u.s. soldiers fighting abroad the republican he slammed obama's first term as a foreign policy failure value that he would get tough with russia however sociology professor william robinson says there's little real choice for american voters. there's no real significant difference between the republicans and the democrats regard to the economic program both parties are beholden to transnational corporate interests particularly to banking interests to oil interests to the u.s. military industrial complex this is a longstanding reality of u.s. electoral campaigns increasingly their person. wised increasingly the real issues at stake the vital issues for the people in the united states and worldwide are not

dealt with and increasingly they are simple simply personalized attack there is one difference of substance and this is coming out in the campaign bickering and that is that the obama administration has been pursuing what we could call a very limited neocon hasn't been a little more social programs that are a little more for your respect and really those are the only i see those are the only significant differences right now between these two parties in their presidential candidates. meanwhile in charlotte north carolina hundreds of occupy demonstrators took to the streets ahead of the democratic national convention protesters are marching through the city's business district chanting slogans and holding up signs decrying corporate influence on u.s. politics the democrats' convention is set to open in the city earlier on monday earlier demonstrators gathered in tampa during the republican national convention but the turnout was less than expected due to hurricane isaac that passed through florida next hour she's going to comments about the upcoming election with author

andrew levine he tells us his view on how much genuine choice americans have here's a preview it's sort of like. coke and pepsi and level of antagonism that out of the exist in the places where those things are manufactured and marketed at the level of underlying political vision or underlying political orientation there isn't that much difference and romney would probably be perfectly happy doing what obama does we happen media which is so terrible that control and. all the institutions that manufacture opinion are so pervasive and our electoral system has become basically if i can advertising it's become sales promotions there are brands and there are people trying to sell different products one of two products. and it's. a pressure that's not all it's not

so much that is pressure that's hard to resist it's a pressure that most people are most people aren't even aware that there is an alternative. we have more for you on this and many other stories on our website are two dot com. an eleven year old pakistani girl allegedly falls victim to any mom who is accused of trying to frame her for blasphemy and a qur'an the burning case. and u.s. insurance companies tried to wriggle out of billions of dollars worth of payments for the damage caused by this summer's record breaking drought. german chancellor angela merkel has wrapped up her visit to china it was aimed at tapping into the country's monetary muscle to help pull europe out of its downward

spiral she sought to boost the flow of investment from beijing into the european stability fund a firewall against financial trouble that the chancellor worked hard to create however the german leaders overtures were met with a guarded response from china's leaders who stopped short of pledging more cash injections into european debt. from the european council on foreign relations explains why the chinese are in no hurry to lend a hand to berlin. the big hope in europe is that the chinese would invest in some of the new vehicles that have been crazy like the european stability mechanism. the chinese. offering lots of words of support today and yesterday but not much in the way of concrete promises to buy bonds in any case the chinese don't tend to make their purchases public so we don't know for example how much the chinese invested in european bonds in the last two years since

the euro crisis began anyway and we probably won't know so there's a lot of there's a lot of uncertainty about that in the case of a bus obviously this is a european company and so it would benefit not just germany but also france and other countries in europe but lots of the deals that have been signed. off for german companies are all going to european companies and in that sense there is a competition going on between germany and other european countries and mostly germany seems to be winning that competition. making headlines around the world is our. children among the victims. hundreds of.
